Bing serves as Microsoft’s search engine, akin to Google and Yahoo. What sets Bing apart is its occasional display of captivating background images, catching people’s attention. Although these images aren’t readily downloadable, if you’ve come across one that you absolutely love, there's a way to save it.
Steps
Extracting the Image from Bing
Head to the Bing website. Launch any web browser (e.g., Google Chrome or Firefox) and navigate to www.bing.com.
- Upon loading the page, you’ll immediately notice the search bar along with the background image.
Right-click on the background image. This action will prompt a context menu to appear.
Choose “Inspect Element” from the menu. Your browser’s Developer Tools will then show up at the bottom of your screen.
Navigate to the “Resources” tab within the Developer Tools. You’ll find a folder directory displayed on the left-hand side panel.
Access the “Frame” folder within this directory. It will lead you to a sub-folder labeled “www.bing.com”.
Open this sub-folder and double-click on the “Images” option. Here, you’ll locate the filename of the background image you wish to save.
How to Store the Bing Background Image
Launch the image in a new browser tab. Right-click on the background image's file name, then opt for “Open link in a new tab.”
Preserve the image. Right-click on the displayed image, then choose “Save Image As” from the context menu. This action will trigger the appearance of the “Save As” dialog box.
- Type a name for the background image in the dialog box and click the “Save” button. The image will now be stored locally on your computer.
Inspect the image using your computer’s image-viewing application. Navigate to “Documents” on your desktop, open it in a new Explorer window, and select “Downloads” from the left directory panel. This will reveal all the files you’ve downloaded from the Internet to your computer.
- Locate the recently saved image and double-click on it to open it in your computer’s image-viewing application.
